Narrow Rooms
A romantic thriller exploring the dark corners of human desire and isolation with quiet eeriness. Is a fresh start truly possible? Or will society s strictures and your own impulses keep re-creating the same messed-up relationships in every narrow room you enter? Choi Seongmin s Narrow Rooms follows a young woman who leaves her rural hometown to study in Seoul and seek self-improvement. But once there, she quickly becomes the target of unwanted attention from her teacher, and the whispers of other students only deepen her alienation. Living in a cramped, poorly soundproofed room, the suffocating atmosphere begins to further distort her boundaries and perceptions. Longing for escape, she fixates on a handsome new neighbor, her fascination spiraling into obsession: She secretly rummages through his mailbox, collects his discarded cigarette butts and teabags, and hoards his trash. But when she discovers something unsavory about the object of her desire, will she be forced to confront the morals of her own behavior? With clean, uniform lines and milky colors reminiscent of glass paintings, Choi s cartooning heightens the story s sense of claustrophobia and unreality. Expertly translated from the Korean by Janet Hong and originally serialized as a Webtoon, Narrow Rooms has been praised for its raw, unsparing depiction of how human desires leak out when confined behind thin walls, emerging in unsettling, antisocial ways that no amount of self-control can fully contain.
The Worst Wedding Date - Three BFFs and a Wedding 1
From USA Today bestselling author Pippa Grant comes an enemies to lovers romcom about a good girl bridesmaid, her best friend's troublemaking but secretly big-hearted brother, and more than one hitch on the way to Happily Ever After.
He's a tattooed shirtless bad boy. My best friend's brother. And the jerk on the other side of my bed.
I didn't know bridesmaid was code for babysitter for the bride's brother, but if that's what my best friend needs from me for her dream wedding to go off without a hitch, that's what I'll do.
Even if Theo Monroe has been a pain in my rear since third grade.
Even if he should be responsible enough not to wreak havoc at his sister's destination wedding.
Even if it means we have to share a hotel room in Hawaii, which might be the final duty that breaks me.
Not only does Theo know exactly how to push my buttons, but he also never wears clothes, he's hiding a litter of kittens in his room, and he keeps showing up with fresh-baked cookies that seemingly come from nowhere.
Also?
I have no idea what's up with the tension between him and the groom.
Or why he's so proud of the world's strangest wedding gift.
Or why I suddenly want to know what makes him tick. The story behind his tattoos. How he can afford to rent a convertible in Hawaii. And if maybe all of that utter frustration and irritation I've felt for him for years is suppressed attraction that a good girl like me isn't supposed to feel for the biggest bad boy of Snaggletooth Creek.
But I do know one thing.
When I find out his biggest secret and the answer to all of my questions, it will change everything.
The Worst Wedding Date is a frolicking good time of a destination wedding romcom, and the first book in the Three BFFs and a Wedding series-perfect for fans of Meghan Quinn, Christina Lauren, and Katherine Center.

This Is Me: A Reckoning
Heroes and Nashville star Hayden Panettiere reclaims her story in a remarkably candid memoir.
Hayden Panettiere's career in entertainment began before she was old enough to walk. From early commercials to film and television roles in hits like Remember the Titans, her career unfolded in the public eye resulting in tremendous success by her early teens. She had become a fixture of early-2000s pop culture, earning acclaim for performances in Heroes, Nashville (which earned her two Golden Globe nominations) and beyond-while quietly carrying the weight of expectations that came with being Hollywood's "It girl."
Behind the image was a far more complicated reality. As Hayden entered adulthood, the industry that once felt playful grew unforgiving. The pressure placed on young performers, the hefty price that often comes with fame, and how quickly someone else can take control of your story. She recounts being scrutinized by tabloids, watching her body and private pain become public property, and performing storylines on-screen that echoed trauma she was living through off camera.
In this memoir, Hayden shares a rare and intimate glimpse into her life behind closed doors opening up about postpartum depression, addiction and recovery, trauma, domestic abuse, and loss. She holds nothing back as she reflects on the moments she calls "lifequakes"- experiences that fractured her sense of self and forced her to rebuild it from the inside out.
In This Is Me: A Reckoning Hayden showcases her most vulnerable role yet . . . this is her story on her terms.
A szabadság kardja - A Moszad korábbi igazgatója - Izrael, a Moszad és a titkos háború
Izrael mindig győzött. Most is győz. És a jövőben is mindig győznie kell.
A Moszad korábbi igazgatója, Yossi Cohen A szabadság kardjában lerántja a leplet Izraelnek a soha véget nem érő háborúban elért sikeréről.
Cohen döntő szerepet játszott Izrael modernkori védelmi stratégiájának kidolgozásában. Személyes történetekkel színesíti az ország történetét, és ritka betekintést nyújt abba, hogy Izrael hogyan dacol a létét fenyegető kihívásokkal, és épít fel egy élenjáró, modern védelmi rendszert.
Most arra is fényt vet, hogy Izrael mindig megtalálja a módját, hogy győzzön, és bemutatja:
- hogy Izrael nemzetként és katonai hatalomként minek köszönheti a sikerét,
- milyen jövő vár Gázára és a Hamászra,
- milyen árat kell fizetni azért, ha valaki a Moszadban dolgozik,
- milyen hibákat követnek el a nyugati hatalmak, amikor a Közel-Kelettel foglalkoznak,
- hogy a Moszad miképpen segíti világszerte a terrorelhárítást,
- hogy a kémkedés művészete hogyan változott a MI és a közösségi média megjelenésével,
- mit jelent Donald Trump második elnöksége Izrael számára.
A mai változó világban Izraelnek meg kell őriznie az alkalmazkodóképességét és az elszántságát, hogy fennmaradhasson. Cohen azt vizsgálja, hogy Izrael mi módon éri ezt el: a hírszerzési adatok kiértékelésével, az emberi találékonyság előtérbe helyezésével, a többi országgal való együttműködéssel (még olyanokkal is, amikre nem is gondolnánk), és annak biztosításával, hogy az ellenség még az összetűzések kirobbanása előtt féljen a vereségtől.
David Ben-Gurion szavaival élve: "A történelmet nem írják, hanem megteremtik".
Izgalmas titkos műveletektől a határokat védő stratégiákig, A szabadság kardja azt mutatja be, hogy Izrael nem véletlenül vált sebezhető országból világhatalommá.
Lost in Peach Blossom Paradise
Alice in Wonderland meets Spirited Away: Xiong Liang's propulsive, Chinese mythology-inspired adventure story for kids ages 9-12. Embark on a forbidden journey through Peach Blossom Paradise—a world of mushroom elves and dragon slayers, with brilliantly crafted ink wash illustrations by a renowned Chinese artist. City-girl Little Yu just spent a glorious summer in the countryside with her grandparents. On the last day of her vacation, wishing she could stay forever, Little Yu notices peach blossom petals marching along the surface of the river. They sink and bob to the surface again, a pink rivulet flowing into the distance. Little Yu follows the blossoms to an enormous, mossy stone tablet carved with the histories of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the words: “Prohibited to cross!” Laughing in the face of this restriction, she hikes up a leg, crosses the stone fence, and sinks her feet into the muck and lichen of an ancient forest. The moment Little Yu enters the forest, the world shifts. The peach blossom petals flow backwards, stop, and then begin to spin. Like Lewis Carroll’s Alice going down the rabbit hole or Hayao Miyazaki’s Chihiro entering the spirit world, Little Yu enters a forbidden world and must learn to trust her instincts at every turn. She meets and befriends the realm’s earthly guardians – puckish spirits of mountains, clouds, water, and wind. The first in the seven-book series, Little Yu and the Treelings, Lost in Peach Blossom Paradise is a new fantasy classic. The celebrated artist and writer Xiong Liang masterfully blends ancient Chinese mythology, traditions, and tales, in a story that shares many features with the best graphic novels. Xiong Liang's ink-wash drawings are vivid and meticulous, filling the page with cave dwellings, intricate creature-made tools, towering cypress forests, and a large, graceful hound dog.

I just didn't know we'd come back together like this: under a cloud of unexpected grief with the pain of our stolen future lingering just beneath the surface. This time together was never supposed to happen. I hadn't accounted for it when I started working to clear a path back to her, but I'm thankful for it. For the opportunity to comfort her in a way no one else can. For the chance to hold her until the demons in my life force me to walk away again.

The Defender - A védő
Be kell tartania a szabályokat... de érte mindet megszegné.
A Blackcastle Football Club csapatkapitányaként és a sportág egyik legjobban fizetett játékosaként Vincent DuBois-nak a világ tetején kellene állnia. Ám amikor hírneve váratlan veszélybe sodorja, a legrosszabb rémálmával találja szemben magát - titokban egy lakásban kell élnie az edzője lányával, miközben pontosan tudja, hogy a lány túlságosan nagy kísértést jelent számára ahhoz, hogy ellenálljon. Amikor az újonnan kialakult lakhatási körülmények egy fogadáshoz vezetnek, ami még közelebb sodorja őket egymáshoz, a fiú rájön, hogy nagyobb bajban van, mint gondolta. Vincent mindig a győzelemre hajtott - de Brooklynért talán mindent kockára tesz.
Sporttáplálkozási szakértőként és egy legendás edző lányaként Brooklyn Armstrong hozzászokott a nagyképű sportolókhoz. Mégis, senki sem tud úgy az idegeire menni, mint Vincent, a legjobb barátnője idegesítően öntelt (és elképesztően vonzó) bátyja. Brooklyn azért hagyta el Kaliforniát, hogy új életet kezdjen, és Vincent pontosan az a fajta figyelemelterelés, amire nincs szüksége. Most azonban a szomszéd szobában alszik, miközben a lány karrierje bizonytalan, és a védekezése egyre hatástalanabbá válik lakótársával szemben. De bármennyire is izzik közöttük a levegő, egy kapcsolat a csapatkapitány és az edző lánya között sosem működhet...vagy mégis?
Pokušení šerifa
Nevěřte všemu, co se vypráví o Robinu Hoodovi, zbojníkovi ze Sherwoodského lesa. Takový muž nikdy neexistoval. Ale je tu jedna žena…
Tou jsem já, Robynne – liščí měňavka, mistryně v lukostřelbě a psankyně s palčivou touhou vyhýbat se problémům. Ovšem když můj impulzivní bratr s bandou svérázných výtržníků přepadne projíždějící kočár, spustí tím řetězec událostí, který navždy změní můj osud. Zastavit je už nestihnu, takže se spokojím s druhou nejlepší možností – brát bohatým a dávat chudým.
Šlo by to dobře, kdyby mi nezačal šlapat na paty nový šerif z Nottinghamu, celý žhavý mě dostat. Když je řeč o Danielovi, žhavý je rozhodně to správné slovo, jelikož je to na rozdíl od svého předchůdce svalnatý rytíř a měňavec s dračí krví, který se právě vrátil z křížových výprav. Probouzí touhy, jaké jsem ještě nepoznala…
Coby psankyně a šerif jsme zapřisáhlí nepřátelé, ačkoli chceme totéž – spravedlnost pro utlačované, návrat právoplatného krále Richarda… a šanci popustit uzdu těm nejdivočejším a nejvášnivějším představám.
Ale pro nás, milence narozené pod nešťastnou hvězdou, to není tak jednoduché. Píše se rok 1193 – éra intrikánských princů, chamtivých vojevůdců a nelítostných měňavců. Pokud chceme šťastný konec, musíme se s Danielem spolehnout na lstivost, krutý boj a lásku, která hoří žhavěji než dračí oheň.
Nikdy jsem se nenechala zastavit pravidly, očekáváním ani nemožnými překážkami… ale musím přiznat, že tohle bude zatraceně těžká výzva. A pokud slyšíte vrčení, to vydává moje liška. Výzva přijata.

Infinite Awakening
Spiritual awakening is not a distant goal. The peace, joy, and wholeness you seek are waiting to be discovered in this very moment. This book is your guide.Infinite Awakening is a comprehensive guide to the “pathless path” of nondual spirituality. It reveals that awakening is the recognition of your true nature—a state of peace, freedom, and interconnectedness that’s already complete and present within you. It invites you to explore the immediacy of your “natural state” and embrace awakening as a direct experience. Drawing from decades of experience, including training in Zen, Tibetan Dzogchen, and Advaita Vedanta, and his many years as a spiritual teacher and director of the School for Awakening, author Stephan Bodian addresses essential questions, such as: What are the stages of spiritual awakening? How does the direct approach of the pathless path encourage awakening?What are the common challenges on this path, and how can we work with them?How does nondual spirituality differ from other spiritual perspectives?What is the role of a teacher, and what are the potential pitfalls?How can we live from an awakened understanding in every moment of our lives?How does trauma affect the awakening process? As a teacher and psychotherapist, Bodian demystifies awakening with his down-to-earth approach, offering practical teachings, meditations, direct pointers, and exercises to help you not only wake up but also integrate your realization into the ordinary situations and relationships you encounter in everyday life. Those new to the spiritual path, as well as fans of teachers like Adyashanti, Eckhart Tolle, Loch Kelly, and Sam Harris, will find this an invaluable guide to nondual wisdom and the pathless path.
